Does cppnetlib support stream based I/O?

[sanikumbh]

Hi,

Based on my limited experience with cppnetlib, using std:string as the container is the only way to transfer data between client and server (please correct me if I am wrong). Is there a way to do stream based I/O? If yes, can someone please point me in the right direction? If no, are there any future plans to support this?

Thanks

Sachin

If you're using the client, yes. If you're using the asynchronous
server then that's something else.

Unfortunately, not stream-based I/O but definitely asynchronous I/O
using generic function objects. We're already working on getting this
supported easily.
